CWC and Republic Wake Parks do it again, and have been doing it since 2006!!! The place is a breeding ground for progression. This is some of the heaviest wakeskating ever done at any wake park in the world. SO SICK!

There's a resurgence happening in the Phillies at one of the world's best wake parks. The CWC is regaining its prominence as the original destination wake park tucked far away from any conventional travel route. It's being rediscovered by both a new generation of riders and seasoned filipino adventurers. It's been four years since my last visit, and I'm now finding myself inspired yet again to make the trip and rediscover a place I once called home for months at a time. YEAH YOU!!!

In looking at this historical picture of Timmins, Ontario, it pains me to know how different it looks today. Gone are trees and parks, replaced long ago by bare sidewalks and parking lots. The city bares no shame in letting itself go. Of course there are greater forces at play here that certainly contributed to this decline after decades of economic turbulence. Still, the most damaging deficit our city will ever face is a lack of imagination and vision - it has been the collective will's failure to change the status quo for commonplace in this city.

While I don't have all the answers, I do have at least one and that is to build Northern Ontario's first wake park in the heart of Timmins. We are talking about a real investment into this community for something that will pull people back into
the city’s core, establish a new tourist attraction for the area, and promote
an active lifestyle.

We see incredible potential and a vision to help create a sustainable
future for Timmins. By utilizing new technologies, innovative design, and
upholding high environmental standards we believe a wake park works to enhance
our public waterfronts in a very responsible and respectful manner.

As such, the Timmins Wake Park Project is more than just a good business idea or destination. It represents a movement to better this community, and to understand that the change we want to see in this community must come from within. There is no use in believing that outsider agencies are the answer - governments and multinationals DON'T LIVE HERE - BUT YOU DO.

Surely I heard his name, but could never put a face to it. That all changed though with the release of Top's Aspect:Ratio. After holding down the closer in Top of the World's first skate team video in nearly a decade, Will Marshall is getting his due!
